LONELINESS COVERS ME 
In the midst of family and friends. 
Feelings of despair have entered in. 
I cant explain exactly how I feel; 
I go on to see what the day reveals. 
Weve been through a lot its so unreal; 
Shocked best describes how I feel. 
Losing a loved one has been hard to swallow; 
We must rely on Jesus and Him only follow. 
God will be our strength if we trust in Him; 
A better day is coming, although life is dim. 
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS TO THE FAMILY
